Besieged by Problems? Out of Ideas? Circle Your Masterminds. by Dawn Lennon - Apr, 2010 In the dumps? Disgusted? Feel like no one’s struggling with career frustrations and business uncertainties the way you are? Makes you ask yourself, “What’s my problem?” Well, that’s how I felt. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an employee, a business owner, a budding entrepreneur, college student, or unemployed. We just don’t have all the answers. Finding answers is about accumulating knowledge. And it isn’t just abou... |

You Can Do This. Tell Your Story. by Suzanne Bates - Apr, 2010 Suddenly it’s become this thing. I didn’t used to hear it that often but lately everybody’s talking about how their leaders need to tell stories. The reason most people can’t find their leadership stories is because when asked, they can only remember the stories they’ve been telling at neighborhood cocktail parties or around the family dinner table on Thanksgiving. You know - the one everybody likes about how in third gra... |

What Steve Jobs Can Teach Us About “Buzz” by Suzanne Bates - Apr, 2010 After reading the 1,347th article on the iPad this month, I got to thinking about buzz. What does Steve Jobs know about creating buzz that could help the rest of us take our business ideas from good to breakthrough? What does he understand that makes otherwise normal people wait on line with grungy strangers for days on end without food or porta potties to get their hands on a device that nobody has even laid eyes on? A... |

Why Do We Don’t Do What We WANT To Do by Shweta Khare - Apr, 2010 There is so much we want to do there is so much we need to do, though simple words are they need and want often forces us on different paths; it does not a matter if we like it or not. We often don’t do what we want to do because of the various hurdles that we have or we make in our lives. But whatever this discussion comes to it is safe to say that it is easy to do what we want to do if we take care of the “need” first. Re... |

Driving Your Business: Road Rules for the Mobile Office by Amanda Guralski - Apr, 2010 Sometimes, a professional life can quite literally be a bumpy ride. My friend Rachel, fresh out of teaching school, often hides out in her car during her lunch break. She needs a quiet place to prepare for her afternoon classes, and has a hard time finding privacy and relaxation at the busy, urban school where she currently teaches. “I loved hanging out in my car, and it became a sort of mini-office for me,” she says. “I’d ... |

Impressions by Nan S. Russell - Apr, 2010 Even now, months after it happened, it surprises me when I think about it. No phone call. No heads up. No discussion. As I opened the email from a business associate, checking my messages from an airport lounge, I expected a routine update. Instead, I read a message severing our relationship. What startled me wasn't that this person decided it best to change a business situation. These things happen. It was how she informed... |

Courageous or Kamikaze? by Suzanne Bates - Mar, 2010 I have a theory about why people say stupid things in meetings. Having said a few stupid things in my own career, I went searching for an answer that didn’t malign overall intelligence. So my theory is that most of the time when people say something dumb they’re doing it out of courage. They believe whatever they have to say has to be said. Of course it is important to encourage people to speak freely. If the CEO has not... |

Know When to Fold ’Em - A Smart Career Strategy by Dawn Lennon - Mar, 2010 Have a job that isn’t going anywhere? Reluctant to leave your work mates? Nervous about changing jobs? Join the club! A lot of people stay where they are, taking the avenue of least resistance. Unfortunately, it’s also the road to nowhere. So if you’re on it, get ready to exit. Being in a dead-end job isn’t the worst that can happen. Staying there too long is. We let ourselves get stuck in our jobs because of naïve or... |

It's Complicated by Suzanne Bates - Mar, 2010 Not long ago, I sat in on a presentation at a business conference and thought I’d landed on Mars. The program topic was compelling but somehow the presenter managed to take us into outer space. No one was following him. I wondered why this is so complicated. The guy had managed to hide his brilliance under a bushel - seizing confusion from the jaws of clarity. Whenever someone says,”I don’t want to dumb it down,” I know... |

How a Little Bit of Courtesy Can Help Your Career by Amanda Guralski - Mar, 2010 "She must not swing her arms as though they were dangling ropes; she must not switch herself this way and that; she must not shout; and she must not, while wearing her bridal veil, smoke a cigarette." – Emily Post (Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, 1922) When we think of etiquette, we often think of those traditional dos and don’ts our mothers taught us. Don’t put your elbows on the table. Don... |
